Makes 12 pieces
Ingredients
- 12-piece chicken braai pack
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup of Maizena corn flour
- Cooking oil for deep frying
Sauce:
- 3 tbsp tomato sauce
- 2 tsp chilli paste
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Optional:
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped spring onion
Method
In a bowl mix the Maizena, salt and pepper. Coat the chicken pieces with the dry corn flour mix, remove and place on a dish.
Add about 60ml water to remaining Maizena to make a batter.
In a deep saucepan, add a generous amount of oil on a medium heat until the oil temperature reaches 175°C.
Dip floured chicken pieces into the Maizena batter right before frying.
Carefully place chicken in the oil and fry for 3-5 minutes in small batches to avoid overcrowding.
Take out the chicken and place on some kitchen paper towels while frying the remaining chicken pieces.
Place all the ingredients for the sauce in a pot and bring to the boil, remove from the heat.
Deep-fry the chicken again when the oil temperature reaches 175°C until the batter is golden and crisp.
Coat the chicken in the sauce completely and serve with a sprinkling of sesame seeds or spring onion.
